1937 Ruby

[Robert Leigh]

A 37 Ruby has what is called hour-glass steering, and it should be possible to adjust the steering box so that there is very little play. I agree with the earlier comment that it should be sorted. Heavy steering in Rubies is often down to slightly oversize tyres: correct size is 4.00-17, but 4.50-17 has often been fitted and does give heavy steering. Also make sure the tyres are properly inflated, 22 -24 psi on the front wheels, 2 pounds higher on the back. Find a local contact, preferably with experience on a similar car, and he should be able to point you in the right direction.
